The Lombardi are a minor, non-playable barbarian faction in Rome: Total War: Barbarian Invasion. They were made playable in Total War: Rome Remastered along with several other factions.
Description[]
The Lombardi were a small tribe of pastoralists that settled round the Elbe river in what is now Germany. Less aggressive than many of their Germanic neighbours, they were still to be treated with caution. Tacitus noted that despite their low numbers the Lombardi were safe from larger tribes "not by submitting, but by daring the perils of war".
Thus far military prowess has kept the Lombardi safe, but they must now consolidate and expand, lest they be subjugated by Rome or overwhelmed by powerful neighbours.
